:57 - physical enforcer (this part made me laugh out loud)
1:45 - verbal enforcer

Gotta love Ed.

    He did claim to work as a security guard in a past life. This may be his training in action.

    "So I'd apologize!"
    Outstanding.
    You must admire a band that takes
    the safety of it's fans so seriously.
    I heard tell of a Green Day concert in Winnipeg, MB,
    where Billie Joe stopped the show
    when a guy went head-first into the concrete floor
    from the crest of a crowd-surf.
    Nice contribution.
    Cheers.

    Jeremy from the same show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1YC9G-UETE&feature=related

    2:38 - great Ed death stare (hilarious)
    4:21 - threat of force with a blunt object (more hilarious, and totally justified)

    And his speech at the end of the song is vintage Ed. What a great show.

    One of my all time favorite shows (wish I could have been there). Saying No and I've Got a Feeling that night.

    was it melkweg 92 where eddie picked up one of the stage divers and tossed him back into the crowd upside down?

    that was always funny
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    From twofeetthick:

    02/12/92 – Melkweg: Amsterdam, Holland [70m]
    attendance: 500
    set: Wash, Once, Even Flow, State of Love and Trust, Alive, Black, Deep, Jeremy, Why Go, Bad Mouth improv/Porch
    encore: I’ve Got a Feeling
    notes: The stage diving at this show is out of control, with Ed asking, “So who taught this guy to stage dive feet first?” and “Is this the stage diving Olympics or something?”

    I think you're right.
